Yet how could Yahweh (Jesus' preincarnate name) be a "god" in the OT before He got his body. Inquiring minds want to know. "OT," what about the NT.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (NASB)
Mormon theology calls Jesus "Yahweh" in the OT. Mormons refer to God the Father as "Elohiem", consistent with mormon polytheistic beliefs. .Yet according to mormon theology a spirit child (which Jesus was suppose to be prior to obtaining a body) cannot progress to godhood until becoming human and obtaining a body. This is an internal contradiction that mormons refuse to provide a legitimate answer to.
